Chapter 564 The Church of Light
Chapter 564 The Church of Light
Asura glanced at the sky and did not rush to the Church of Light!
After wandering around the huge Storm City for a long time, I got a general understanding of the situation in Storm City!
Among them, the curfew is a very strict city rule in Storm City!
In Storm City at night, no one is allowed to walk on the streets except the city guards of the Church of Light!
Even if you are a poor person sleeping on the streets, you can only find a sheltered place to lie down and rest!
If you stand up and walk around casually, you will most likely be killed by the guards of the Church of Light!
Asura couldn't help but think of the military town of the Kekao family. He curled his lips and hurriedly looked for a hotel to stay in!
As a result, he found several hotels but they were all full. Just when Ashura thought he would have to sleep on the streets tonight, he finally found the only room left in the last one!
Ashura was shocked when he entered his room. The high price of ten gold coins a night was only for a very small room!
There was only a relatively clean bed and a stool inside!
There was nothing else, not even a window for ventilation, and the whole house had a faint musty smell!
Asura turned his head and looked at the expressionless waiter, but unexpectedly the waiter frowned at him!
Asura sighed lightly and quickly booked this room!
No matter what, at least it is a room that can shelter you from the wind and rain, which is better than sleeping on the streets!
The waiter warned: "Don't leave the room after dark, don't walk around casually!"
He turned around and left Ashura's room without looking back, and closed the door heavily!
The room suddenly became dark, and there wasn't even any lighting in the room!
Asura was too tired to complain, so he took out a lighting crystal and placed it on the bedside, and the room instantly became bright!
Asura looked at the relatively clean linen sheets and lay down speechlessly!
Asura was used to leaning on the soft and furry Dark Nether Tiger Kassa, so the hard bed board with only a thin layer of sheets made him very uncomfortable!
Asura twisted and turned and suddenly saw that there seemed to be some words engraved on the headboard of the bed!
Asura looked intently and saw some slogans of the Church of Light engraved on the wooden headboard!
It seems to have been carved by the believers of the Church of Light who settled here!
Asura read these passionate slogans word by word!
"Chase the light, and aim for eternity!"
"The power of light protects all living beings!"
"The holy flame will never go out, and the light will last forever!"
"Awake in the light, guide in the darkness!"
"Darkness can only hide in the shadow of light!"........
Asura, who had nothing to do, listened carefully to the noises around him. The crowded hotel was surprisingly quiet!
There were the sounds of coordinated footsteps and armor clashing on the street outside the house!
Asura really doesn't like this high-pressure atmosphere!
I can only sit cross-legged on the big bed and meditate on magic until dawn!
The next morning, I felt that the light in the room seemed to be brighter!
Asura also slowly opened his eyes from meditation!
After tidying up his clothes, Asura walked out of the room and found the waiter to ask what food was available.
It turned out that only black bread was available, and the price was more than ten times more expensive than outside!
Ashura couldn't help but frown, and returned to his room without saying anything. Fortunately, he had purchased a large amount of supplies while strolling around the northern capital of Sind!
It is better to just take out some dried meat and swallow it casually than to chew that hard and unpalatable black bread!
Then Ashura got up and headed for the headquarters of the Church of Light. Along the way, there were crowds of people going to the cathedral of the Church of Light to pray!
Ashura followed the crowd to the headquarters of the Church of Light, a large and magnificent building complex. The Cathedral of Light, which was open to the public, was already overcrowded and there was no way to squeeze in!
Asura had no choice but to go around to the side of the hall and saw four fully armed guards guarding the door!
The hooded Ashura walked over and was about to ask something!
The guard pointed his sword at him and shouted coldly, "Mage, this is not the place for you!"
"Back off immediately! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
Ashura stood still after hearing this, then said, "I have no ill intentions! I want to see your Pope!"
The four guards at the door were stunned for a moment, then sneered and mocked, "You want to see the Pope? What qualifications do you have?"
"Can you see the Pope whenever you want? Leave now!"
Ashura suppressed his displeasure and continued, "Please go and inform them! Tell them that Satan and Yuri's apprentice are here to see you!"
When they heard the names of Satan and Yuri, the four guards with sarcastic expressions trembled unconsciously!
Then, looking at Ashura with a serious expression, the leader asked in a deep voice: "Satan and Yuri's apprentice? Who are you? Tell me your identity!"
Upon seeing this, Ashura slowly took off the hood of his magic robe, revealing his young face. He spoke calmly, "Ashura from the Valenci Empire has come to pay his respects to the Pope of Light!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the captain of the guards, who was holding the sword at his waist, tightened his hand noticeably!
He looked at the tall young man in front of him in disbelief. After a few breaths of stunned silence, he said, "Wait here. I'll go in and report!"
When he turned around, he winked at his three subordinates, and then quickly rushed into the headquarters of the Church of Light!
Asura didn't say much, but he felt that the three guards at the door were obviously much more nervous!
In a moment, the captain of the guard rushed out again and looked at Ashura at the door!
He took a deep breath and said in a much more respectful tone, "Your Excellency invites you. The Pope will meet with you later!"
Ashura heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. It seemed that although the Church of Light was arrogant, it still kept its word!
After tidying up his magician's robe, Asura followed the captain of the guard into the gate!
As Ashura's back disappeared into the door, the door slowly closed...
When Ashura walked through the gate and entered the Church of Light, he was shocked by the decorations inside!
The interior of the hall is full of golden and luxurious feeling. The colorful crystals embedded in the ceiling let the light in while adding colorful soft colors!
Exquisite epic murals of the Church of Light can be seen everywhere on the walls, and golden statues are placed in the corners!
A sense of luxury is everywhere!
Asura even felt that this place was much more luxurious than the imperial palace of the Valenci Empire. How much wealth had the Church of Light accumulated?
Just as Ashura was marveling at the luxury of the Church of Light, a blond middle-aged man wearing a dark blue church robe walked towards Ashura!
The guard leader who led the way bowed quickly and turned to leave!
The blond middle-aged man smiled and said, "Ashura, welcome to the Church of Light!"
"I am Riley, the Bishop of the Church of Light. The Pope has not yet completed his work for the day and will meet with you later!"
